4055 S. Maryland Parkway
It doesn't get much more authentic than this. Luscious, lean, corned beef sandwiches, peppery pastrami and cheesecake to die for are culinary keystones at Celebrity Deli, a repeat winner from last year. When you're feeling a bit more expansive, as it were, try one of the hot entrees -- we like the hot turkey sandwich -- and enjoy the deli experience at its most delicious. Stage Deli was your second-place pick.
Our Pick: CELEBRITY DELI & RESTAURANT
In addition to the food at Celebrity Deli, we love the ambience. It's not a fancy place, but what real deli is? There are autographed photos of entertainers on the wall -- not to mention larger, rather ornate renditions of showroom regulars above the booths -- and the wait staff has that no-nonsense but almost famililial sense of efficiency found in only the best delis.
